Guillermo del Toro’s “The Strain” Offers Fans New Stills

Television horror is an often rocky road. For every American Horror Story or Hannibal, you get The Vampire Diaries, Salem, or True Blood. I think we can agree it’s a mixed bag at best. I have tremendous faith in horror superstar, Guillermo del Toro, the genius behind The Strain comic, and now television series. FX released several esoteric teasers, keeping the action under wraps thus far, but I’ll post the first real promo as soon as I have it. In the meantime, enjoy the still FX dropped on us.

“‘The Strain’ is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself.”
